You want your child to learn how to ride a bike? Then you should consider buying what’s known as a balance bike (or sometimes a running bike), such as the Kazam, Skuut, or Strider. These bicycles don’t have peddles, a chain, or training wheels, and they’re great for teaching toddlers, or older kids, the sort of coordination necessary to ride a bicycle.

Kazam Balance Bike
For children ages 3-6, this bike teaches your kids the balance and coordination needed for bicycle riding. As a toddler bicycle, it has the steering and balancing challenges of traditional bikes, but without peddles, a chain, or training wheels. It weighs just under ten pounds.

Strider PREbike Balance Running Bike
Designed for children from ages 1 to 5, the Strider is a “running bike” designed to help kids get over the fears typical with bike riding. It’s lightweight, easy to learn, and can help kids when they move to a traditional bike.
